I hope those of you celebrating Thanksgiving had a great one or are having a great one. And those of you who don’t or aren’t had a wonderful Thursday. Things went well here. The excitement here was as we were finishing dinner just as dusk fell something small walked across my back deck. I could see it through the dining room window. I went “what the fuck is that?” As one does. My guests – I had my fully vaccinated neighbors over – and we then went on my screened in patio real quick to see it walk past the outside of that screened in patio. It was a small bobcat. Florida bobcats run between 2 and 4 feet in length and this was definitely on the smaller side. So I’m thinking a juvenile. He or she went on its way and into the scrub. About 40 minutes or so later when I was getting ready to take the girls out as we’d moved through dusk into evening, as I was standing in my front courtyard getting ready to open the gate, I heard a bit of commotion and a meep sound on the island in the middle of the circle I live on. And there, right in front of my house the bobcat had cut inside the evasion circle of one of the wild rabbits that lives here and took it for dinner. As far as I can tell the rabbit didn’t suffer. I don’t know if the bobcat is moving through or is setting up housekeeping, but I’ll let you all know if I see it again and, of course, if I can get a picture I will post it.
Happy Thanksgiving to our American friends! We are grateful for your support, friendship, and shared goals of democracy, liberalism, and adherence to the principles of the international order. Good always prevails over evil. We are thankful for your good.
